Chapter 28: Luxury Car Showdown
"Whatever you like, I will give them to you," Skyview said.
At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Skyview changed.
They had thought Skyview was just an ordinary person, nothing special. But now they felt that Skyview's every move and gesture exuded charm. Suddenly, he turned into an attractive man!
"In fact, upon closer inspection, Skyview is quite handsome, haven't you noticed? Such a handsome young man, yet low-key, this kind of composure is something rare." Yvonne completely forgot about her earlier insults toward Skyview, now looking at Skyview with great admiration. "Skyview, you are really handsome."
"Yes, Skyview has always been a low-key handsome guy, he doesn't show off his excellence, which is truly impressive." Compared to Yvonne, Melody praised Skyview more subtly.
"Skyview is indeed a handsome guy!"
"And wealthy!"
"Low-key and modest!"
"Elegant, classy, low-key rich gentleman!"
Suddenly, everyone started praising Skyview again, instantly becoming his fans.
This was an era where people's attitudes were decided by money.
Connor just used ten thousand dollars. But with all these fireworks in the city, who knew how much they cost? They were definitely more expensive than nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine roses.
Connor was completely outshone by Skyview!
Seeing the people who had just praised him now praising Skyview, Connor felt furious.
'What kind of world is this? A magical world? Is anything real?
'A delivery guy, actually able to afford fireworks all over the city.
'It's crazy!' Connor thought bitterly.
"Connor, like I said, beauties belong to the strong. My fireworks are much more impressive than your cheap roses!" Skyview naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to gloat, smugly holding Willow's hand and taunting Connor. "But don't be too frustrated; although you don't qualify to have Willow, you can always find another woman who is easily moved by your cheap roses!"
Connor's face turned red. "You're just a poor guy, how could you afford fireworks all over the city? You must have known about the fireworks show in the city tonight and took credit for it. How shameless!"
"You still won't admit your failure? That's fine. But you owe everyone an apology," Skyview said. "Look up there. What do you see?"
Connor looked up and saw the fireworks in the sky forming a sentence.
"Skyview wishes Willow a happy birthday!"
At this point, it was confirmed that Skyview had paid for the fireworks show.
But even at this point, Connor still didn't give up, arguing, "Based on my investigation on you, you're just a delivery guy, how could you afford so many fireworks? You must have mortgaged your house and taken out a huge loan, right? And where's your car? Here at the door, there's only my Mercedes, where's your luxury car?"
Connor, as if he had caught Skyview's weakness, loudly exclaimed, "Skyview, you don't even have a luxury car, you must be a fake rich man in debt!"
It had to be said that Connor's reasoning had some merit. Apart from Connor's Mercedes at the entrance, there really weren't any other expensive cars.
That had to mean that Skyview's car was cheap.
Could it be that this Skyview really used loans to set off fireworks?
That would be too foolish!
Many people looked at Skyview with suspicion.
"Connor, do you dare call this beat-up Mercedes a luxury car?" Skyview sneered.
"It's better than yours! You even can't afford one," Connor retorted.
"How do you know I don't have one?" Skyview said.
"Skyview, you set off fireworks all over the place; that's indeed quite a grand gesture, but that's the money from the bank, and you are in debt for that. Do you think I can't afford to set off fireworks all over the place? I just didn't think of it!" Connor said.
"Okay, whatever. Since you brought up the car thing, could we compare our cars?" Skyview said with a smirk. "I can tell you've never experienced despair. Tonight, you will have the fortune of experiencing it. Of course, if you don't dare to compare your car with mine, I understand. You don’t want to show us you are a poor man. I won't discriminate against you."
Although knowing that Skyview's words were deliberately meant to provoke him, Connor was still infuriated.
Everyone has their pride.
In front of everyone, Connor couldn't back down!
"Fine!" Connor said, "Let's compare! But we can't just compare it without a wager, right?"
"We won't bet money," Skyview said.
"What will we bet then?" Connor asked.
"If I win, you stop bothering Willow, how about that?" Skyview said.
"And if I win?" Connor asked.
"I'll also stop interfering with you and Willow, how about that?" Skyview said with confidence.
He thought to himself. 'I could always use my privilege to transfer Willow under my command to work as my secretary, not as a salesperson. Of course, as a wealthy billionaire, how could I possibly lose to a mere millionaire?'
"Alright, it's a deal!" Connor said seriously, "The reason I drive a Mercedes is to be low-key, in fact, my real ride is a Ferrari! I just can't drive it on the streets, in case it gets hit by those ordinary people's cars. They can't afford to pay for it. To avoid hurting the poor, I drive a regular Mercedes. Just wait, I'll call my driver over!"
Connor walked away to a secluded area, looked around cautiously, and then made a phone call.
"Can you help me out? I'm in a bit of trouble right now," Connor pleaded.
Of course, Connor didn't really have a Ferrari, but he could always borrow one from a truly wealthy person!
Borrowing a car to pretend to be rich is quite thrilling!
